With Christmas just three weeks away, many Americans are anxiously looking beyond the contested election, the nationwide surge in positive Covid-19 tests, and ahead to the next shoe to drop after all the Thanksgiving holiday travel and gatherings. While a vaccine appears imminent, newspapers and cable news are hyperventilating over how much worse the coming armageddon will get before Joe Biden is inaugurated on January 20.
Fortunately, voices of reason (and science) are still here to assure us that all is not lost. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases and lead member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, has declared that Santa Claus has "innate immunity" and can't spread the virus to anyone this Christmas.
But don't take your kids to the mall to sit on Santa's knee to tell him what they want for Christmas. Santa isn't taking any chances and won't be there.
We'll get to Santa's white male patriarchy issues next.
